AME Assisted Special Issuance (AASI) is a process whereby the FAA delegates to AMEs the ability to re-issue an airman medical
certificate under the provisions of an Authorization for Special Issuance of a Medical Certificate (Authorization) to
an applicant who has a medical condition that is disqualifying under Title 14 of the Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 67.

A staff FAA physician provides the initial certification decision and grants the Authorization in accordance
with 14 CFR § 67.401.
The Authorization letter is accompanied by attachments that specify the information that treating physician(s) must
provide for the re-issuance determination. If this is a first time issuance of an Authorization for the
disease/condition, and the applicant has all of the requisite medical information necessary for a determination,
the AME must defer and submit all of the documentation to the AMCD or RFS for the initial determination.
